Refugee Festival Scotland, 14 to 23 June 2024

Our Adult Learning and Resettlement team is delighted to be celebrating Refugee Festival Scotland.

Organised by the Scottish Refugee Council, the festival will bring people from different backgrounds together in friendship and solidarity.

The theme of this year’s festival is Rise, in honour of those who have been forced to flee their homes rising above challenges and uncertainty to rebuild their lives in Scotland.

This courage, strength and resilience is our inspiration.
